Holy shite the boyfriend posted in this thread. :kern:
They've been dating 5 years since high school? Did they ever break up? Neither of them played the field at all in their youth? They'll marry early 20s with no knowledge of the real world?
You can't stop them from getting married, but you should beg them not to have kids.

OP, I been there. When my SIL came to ask, at that time my daughter was in her 4th year at LSU. I pointed out that she had 4 more years to go. They dated from the age of 16. I did hit him up as far as how he was going to support my daughter as for as finishing her dream of becoming a Vet. He flat out told me he would do everything in his power. Knowing him and his family that are very good people, I gave my blessing. And yes, he was very scared at the time due to the fact I took him for a walk the first night they dated and told him if he screwed up with my daughter, I would plant his arse were no man ever walked. True story. Found out the night of the rehearsal dinner that he went home that night and told his family what I said that night. 
I am a man of my word and he knows that. 
Of course they did wait to have a child to the last year of school for my daughter. She finished and now they been married for 11 years.

Should've said, "I've been having sex with your daughter for a while now, and I think it's time we turn it up a notch"

I'm glad my father-in-law didn't have this mindset. I asked for blessing over phone and all was fine and everyone was excited.
Sorry dude, but if some hardleg would of done that with me, I would of gave a very big piece of my mine. I'm old school and as important as my daughter is to me, a phone call would not fly.

OP - this guy sounds like a good kid. Works hard, took the time to show respect and ask your blessing.
Laying tile is better than a shite liberal arts degree and 60k in student debt. Best of luck to your daughter and future son-in-law.

It's really cool that he cared to ask you first. Be sure you honor that in your conversation.

And she's "about" be be an x-ray technician, that may be a prestigious job in your parts, but a girl that makes film in an x-ray room and asks people to take off jewelry doesn't require a complicated degree. Lets not pretend she's about to be splitting the atom.
My wife makes close to 70k to "make film" as you call it. She has an associates degree which isn't setting the world on fire. However, lets not pretend that a woman making 70k a year, having 240 hours of vacation time aside from 10 holidays off a year isn't a nice addition to household.

Again the biggest problem I would have is age and if that's the only relationship they have been in.
This isn't the 1950's , people cheat at a high rate due to sheer availability of poon.
If he hasn't fricked at least three other broads he will at some point while they are married.

Marriages can easily survive a man's infidelity. It's interesting that you focused on him. It's the woman you have to worry about.

My take again. Only someone that has been in the OP's shoes will know how it feels to have some hardleg asking this most important question of their daughter. It's a catch 22. Sucks for the Dad as much as for the young man. This is a life changing event for all and something that should not be taken lightly. Till any of y'all have this happen, you will not know the feeling that go on.

Don't listen to these assholes.
The boy asked you over the phone, bad move. This type of question is done in person, face to face, he should have known better.
He doesn't have a daughter so give him benefit of the doubt, good luck at lunch.

Would you think twice if the same man had a degree?

Future son in law called and to set up a face to face meeting with his girlfriends dad to set up a meeting. FIL asked whats it about and the SIL told him. SIL didnt ask over the phone.

My father-in-law must hate me and my 2 brother-in-laws, then, because all 3 of us asked for blessing over phone.

My only hesitation is that he is not in school and I don't really see any future career path for him. Guess I'm just trying to save my daughter from a financially insecure future.
Even though I am much younger, and do not have a child, I can see this being an issue. I came from virtually nothing. I've received no inheritance, and never will. My father was a very hard worker, and only I was the only thing he ever cared about. He taught me from a very young age that money does matter, but it took me getting into the real world to learn it's not everything. However, I would not want my (future) daughter entering into a relationship that would possibly hinder her having a nice life, especially if I raised her to expect as much, as you may have. I've noticed that women who are raised this way think money means nothing, and that it will always be there, but have a complete ignorance that it DOES run out.
Serious question: are you a white collar worker? A businessman? He has a trade, educate him. He is going to be your future son, after all. Teach him that he can eventually use that trade to start a business. You can help this "financial situation" become less of an issue, and I don't mean by giving them money. Help him start his own business in a few years. Tell him this is your plan from early on, if it is something he'd be interested in. It will give you the opportunity to bond with your future son-in-law, and give you the opportunity to better both of their lives.
